Do we have enough parks, trails, and other recreation areas? Are they maintained well enough?

That’s the second set of questions the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) is asking people as it looks to revise the state’s strategic plan for outdoor recreation. We’d like your thoughts.

You can respond by visiting our Recreation Town Hall Web site at (www.scorpwa.wordpress.com) where you can quickly share your views.

Also, please tell your friends and help us spread the word.

The state’s outdoor recreation strategic plan, called the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP), needs to be updated every 5 years to maintain our ability to receive federal funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. RCO uses these federal dollars for grants to local communities to build parks and trails, and conserve wildlife habitat. The SCORP addresses the future recreation needs of our residents and helps guide decisions about what projects to fund.

Your input is crucial to understanding what’s important to include in the plan.

Thanks for your help in planning for the future of outdoor recreation in Washington!
